Warning: This is a fast pace MC romance with colourful language, violence and hot love scenes. Note to readers: This book includes violence and sexual content, if you think these topics will offend you please do not purchase. This is not your normal MC series. The Aces are an MC with alpha males but the members do not shy away from the fact that they are husbands, fathers and lovers with feelings. If you don’t like a 'biker' who cares and respects the women in his life, then this isn't a book for you. I want to take the time to mention that I’m from the United Kingdom and use UK spellings. This book is a standalone story however, to receive the full experience of the ACES MC Series it is recommended to read the stories in the following order: Diesel – Book 1 Duke - Book 2 Paige and Chloe - Book 2.5 Spike - Book 3 Amy - Book 3.5 Locke - Book 4 Jayden - Book 4.5 Woods - Book 5 Cade - Book 5.5 CJ - Book 6 Justice - Book 7
